May have a deal for you there, Ben. I'll shout when I buy the Air as the 2 (white, 16gb, Wifi only if of interest) will be going to Voda recycling or ANOther.
Sure it's been covered, but;
- will you use a bigger screen?
- will you notice the difference in speed?
- will you actually use 4G or are you in an area that currently has it (i.e. London)?
If the above answers are all yes, upgrade.
When the 5 came out and 4G wasn't available, none of the...
I'll take your old V8 off you in return ;) What are you getting pal?
Very much so lad! You'd laugh!
Yes. I definitely haven't had any new to detailing forum users PM me asking how and when to apply ;) Lol.
Similar Andy; Tripple with Carbon'd roof, C2V3 rest of car with Sonax top ups on certain areas to test beading and looks... real mix, so might strip down fully at Scrooges at some point, but will defo be testing over a few glazes and in comparison to other LSPs.
That'll be part of the testing and reporting, chap. How does this wax stand up to daily drivers, look on garage queens, protect cars that sit in industrial units and are subjected to large amounts of fallout etc.
Re topping up, up to you, but I tend to top up a decent wax (Carbon for example)...
I think that's down to you, fella.
Cribert, if James and the team have supplied rejuvenate, I'm willing to bet that's the base they want, but would be happy to a comparison to other product bases.
Yes. But that's the point. They'll have optical enhances in them, with AF tripple being one of the best I've tried, for gloss and ease of use.
There is only so much shine you can achieve with a perfected paint. Lacking swirls and contaminants is fine. More shine = more optical enhancers.
Give...
PLENTY of waxes, but it's all about the prep.
Decent base prep product such as Tripple (PLUG since it's an AF thread!!) followed by Carbon, Glasur, Vocs Red, Orange Crush, any of the AF waxes or, as in my current case, C2V3;
My spot repair on the rear bumper was £125. If you can get a respray for £400, send me a PM/the company name. Perfectly happy to give it a try. Only the company can loose out...
Similar subject, I had to chuckle at Cheshire police's new fleet of panda cars. Having had 5 series tourings, X5s and a few new RangeRovers over the last few years, their new job lot of i30s tickled me!
C2V3 will last longer and I found it was "easier" to apply... but not exactly difficult either of them, eh! Interesting what you've said about looks. I still think C2V3 looks cracking, but red is probably an easier colour to get the best out of with something like this?
Likewise, after seeing...
Rob Scrooge - I mentioned in my PM to AF that the three of us could use it at the Unit on the Toledo, Panzer and Zed. Different colours, you do more driving, different conditions etc. Would make for an interesting initial looks and longevity test.
Claying is the last stage of decontamination, but this is not as well/widely known as it should be. Clay will remove tar and iron, but will drag large particles across your paint, hence the need to follow up with polishing. The inclusion of tar and iron removers minimises this risk of marring...
Yes. It will. But detailing is the art of removing as little clear coat as poss to achieve the desired effect. So by missing out tar and iron decontam stages, you're inflicting marring that could be otherwise avoided.
